§ 37. Mr. Heddleasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the authorities which have not compiled land registers.
§ Mr. Giles ShawThe districts for which registers have not so far been published are, to date, Bolsover, Carrick, Castle Morpeth, Corby, Newark, Penwith and Sedgefield. I understand that five of these registers are likely to be published within the next six weeks.
§ 51. Mr. Durantasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what consideration he has given to reducing the minimum plot size for inclusion in local government land registers to less than an acre.
§ Mr. Giles ShawMy first priority is to secure effective use nationally of the present registers, most of which have been only recently established. When further progress has been made in this, I shall consider reducing the minimum size of plot for registration.
